If anything, not paranoid enough because still tracking.

This place would be one of the best to hit with a 0day. Lots of IT people with full admin rights to entire corporate networks.

Doesn't fit the risk profile. 0days are used with surgical precision, not simply to dunk on hundreds of random businesses.

You can send different things to different requesting hosts.

Users at XYZ.gov gets the 0day, everyone else gets what is expected.

A healthy paranoia if you grew up with the internet.

When a link can compromise an entire machine, having a machine you can literally throw away with no consequence is nice.

Hell, I'd wager to say that containers wouldn't be a thing if it weren't for this kind of behavior. Looking for ways to build up and destroy VMs even faster.

Try qemu's microvm mode, combined with virtiofs:

You need a faster computer, man!

Windows 10 pro let’s you bring up fresh sandbox with one click and about 5 seconds to boot, it’s really not such a burden.

Or maybe people just have temp VMs running anyway, and like others have said, if you’re browsing hacker news on your work machine you should probably do so with a healthy dose of paranoia.

This is a thread about John McAfee, after all.
